My skill everyone on MSN has been waiting to see. After telling someone I figured it's best to just put it down now and get it out of the way. Approved by three moderators. I'll put it on my sheet once my current battle with Koko is finished.

The Swords of Damocles (Kohryu's Talons): As a Samurai, Sutera excels in the use of items and equipment. Specifically, however, she has honed her control over magical gems. This skill allows her to carry and activate jewels without the need for them being placed within a weapon or armor. In doing so, she can manifest its energy into a physical item, a katana, made from compacted mana. This crystal-like sword is as strong as steel and carries the original properties of the gem, though it only lasts as long as any jewel normally would. Obviously this only works for certain jewels and requires a jewel to be activated. Additionally, this permits Sutera to use these special katanas in place of any part of the Rain Camellia in her skills or specials. [Strong 'Activated Skill', 3x]

Lightning Jewel: Once activated, it imbues a weapon with the lightning-element, allowing it to do a bit of additional damage (lightning-based; shocking, not paralytic) for 8 posts. It also boosts all lightning- and wind-oriented specials/spells moderately during this time.

Using a weak unused for an approved special (1 weak used = 0 left).

Suzaku: When Sutera sought a home in the South, she met Suzaku, the vermilion bird. Through its teachings did she learn this technique. Sliding her blade across her sheathe (or any similar, metal object), using it almost like a type of flint, she sends a shower of sparks towards the enemy. While the damage is minimal, the mental shock and (perhaps) blindness that may occur is truly what makes this ability worth it. [3x per battle, weak]

Studded Leather Armor: A breastplate created from the hide of a tough-skinned creature that has been reinforced with small bits of metal. It weighs slightly more but protects better and doesn't harm mobility. This also comes with a pair of thick leather gloves.

Leather Pants: A pair of pants created from the hide of a tough-skinned creature. They protect more than regular pants and don't hinder movement at all. This also comes with a pair of basic leather boots.

For clothing purposes, Sutera has upgraded to a 'skirt' of knee-length cloth. It is made up of sections instead of one piece and open in the front. This goes over her armor.

Genbu -- When Sutera sought a home in the North, she met Genbu, the black tortoise. Through its teachings did she learn this technique. This is a moderately powerful strike that is used more to hinder the opponent's use of an item or armor rather than injure the item's owner himself. Wooden objects can be smashed through while thick metal objects are dented or bent; this is especially useful against swords. [2x per battle, medium]

Trained Agility II: Years of difficult training and practice have provided her with speed unnatural to her race. [weak]

This is the same as Trained Agility; grouping them together to make a medium in speed.

Fire Jewel: Once activated, it imbues a weapon with the fire element, allowing it to do a bit of additional damage (fire-based; burning, not incinerating) for 8 posts. It also boosts all fire-oriented specials/spells moderately during this time.
